One of the best nights of my life this. Thought some of you may enjoy this! Basically a different perspective on a hugely memorable night.

The obvious elephant in the room here is BT Sport - they invited us down to the posh bit. Now we're a Man City fans channel, so it's probably not a coincidence after last season. Gotta give credit where its due though - they were absolutely brilliant with us. They gave us hospitality and let us meet all the pundits etc... they're CLEARLY making an effort this year after last season, evident with Dunney being involved and in general it was a great day. Lineker was a top bloke, so was Hargreaves and obviously Dunney.

Just a great night overall. We were never gonna say no to free beer....ha.

Not a bad time to be alive, hey blues?

Looking forward to watching this later. Did you have the pleasure of meeting Rio and McManamanamanaman?

As you've said, they are clearly determined to improve their coverage of our games (even if I do get the feeling that they're doing it somewhat begrudgingly).

McManaman was actually really sound and he predicted a City 2-1 win! Fair play. Didn't get to talk to Rio, but Dunney and Hargreaves were really nice.

Yeah, get the cynicism with BT Sport. Thing we found really interesting was that the head producer bloke who gave us a tour was a City fan!

Oh god yeah - we were absolutely fucked by the 2nd half and they looked well pissed off with us singing City songs constantly! Sod em! ha.

My thoughts exactly.

I thought the mardiest one was looking for a steward.

Ah well; that's that then. You'll be too grand now to be mixing with the ordinary down to earth blues from now on. No more chicken balti pies and warm Carling, it'll be canapés and Pimms from now on. In the all expenses paid corporate box.

Hahahha. Nah, back to warm Carling for us now. That'll be the last time we ever do anything like that so made the most of it.

Excellent work Steve (you're getting pretty okay at this malarkey, aren't you?). Quick question though; looking at you during that second half, and outside the stadium after the game, how much if that free ale did you have? You seemed very, er, "merry"!

I'll be honest. I was smashed. A lot is the answer....not used to free stuff so I made the most of it! Ha.
